manhwa+manhua: no romance tag

a pseudo-harem cuz he has a plethora of female admirers. other than that, mc is pretty cool

adapted from novel. the organizations within the tower and gods and heroes are referenced from Greek, Norse, Chinese, Japanese, etc mythology. mc is decently op, but he obtains the rewards based on pure skill and a bit of luck. edit: based on spoilers, there will be romance later.

novel adaptation. no romance. the charas' personalities are different, mc is the quiet but self-aware guy, almost apathetic. story progresses realistically and no one is perfect.

it's decent. personally, it's better in novel form

most likely romance; fl: blue-haired girl

kinda boring. falls flat. dropped. mc is summoned into bullied kid's body, and together they will achieve their goals. it's kinda weird how it's mentioned more than once that the bullied kid's change resembles his mother? when it's mc that's in his body? it's sad fr. i hope theres some connection between them at least. also, villains are kinda cartoonishly evil.

beginning was really good
